从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1.—Thank you for picking me up in this remote area!
—________.I'm just going in the same direction.
A.With pleasure
B.None of your business
C.Think nothing of it
D.There's nothing in it
答案 C
解析 句意:——感谢你从这么偏僻的地方接我!——没什么。我正好顺路。此处为感谢的答语,应选择C项,表示“没什么,不用放在心上”。A项“乐意,情愿”;B项“不关你的事”;D项表示“某事不真实”。
2.Frankly,we really doubt ________Robert will pass the rock climbing test,for he missed a lot of training.
A.that B.whether
C.which D.what
答案 B
解析 doubt用于确定句时,其后的宾语从句用whether或if来引导;doubt用于否定句时,其后的宾主从句用连词that引导。
3.I punished my son for his fault this morning.But I would rather not________ it;after all,he is only 5 years old.
A.to do B.do
C.to have done D.have done
答案 D
解析 would rather后常跟动词原形,do表示的动作已经发生过,故用have done。
4.________I admit the boy has a gift for music,I don't think he will make a good singer.
A.Since B.While C.Until D.Unless
答案 B
解析 题中的两个分句之间存在转折关系,故从句用while(尽管)引导。
5.In severe weather,traffic is restricted ________certain roads that have been cleared of snow.
A.to B.with C.in D.on
答案 A
解析 be restricted to被限制在……。句意:在寒冷的天气里,车辆被限制在雪已被清除的大路上行驶。
6.—I hear that Tom can't afford his schooling this fall.
—________,let's do something for him.
A.If so B.When necessary
C.When possible D.If any
答案 A
解析 考查交际用语。句意:——我听说今年秋天Tom上不起学了。——要是那样的话,我们该为他做些什么。空处用If so表示“假如那样的话……”。When necessary表示“有必要时……”;When possible表示“可能的话……”;If any表示“假如有的话……”,都与语境不符。
7.He stood there,his eyes________on the picture on the wall,lost in thought.
A.fixing B.to fix
C.fixed D.having fixed
答案 C
解析 fix one's eyes on意为“凝视;凝视”。his eyes与fix之间是被动关系,因此用其-ed形式。句意:他站在那里,凝视着墙上的那幅画,陷入深思。
8.The old man sitting opposite me cleared his throat as if ________something.
A.said B.to say
C.having said D.saying
答案 B
解析 句意:坐在我对面的那个老人清了清嗓子,像要说什么似的。由句意可知他还没说,因此用as if+动词不定式,表示“好像要做……”。as if to say something=as if he was going to say something。此外,当从句的主语和句子的主语全都,从句谓语中又包含动词be时,这个主语和be可以省略。as if doing 好像正在……;as if done好像被……。
9.Don't be so discouraged.If you ________such feelings,you will do better next time.
A.carry on B.get back
C.break down D.put away
答案 D
解析 句意:不要如此泄气,假如你消退这种心情,下次肯定会做得更好的。考查动词短语。carry on连续进行,从事;get back回来;break down出故障,垮掉,分解;put away抛弃,放弃,处理掉。
10.The old couple ________for more man 40 years and never once have they quarreled with each other.
A.married B.have married
C.have got married D.have been married
答案 D
解析 从句中的时间状语for more than 40 years 可知此处要用现在完成时,故排解A项;marry和get married均为非连续性动词,只表示“结婚”那一时的行为,而不表示“结婚”后的状态;而be married表示该状态的持续。
其次节 完形填空(共30小题;11~20题每小题1分,21~40题每小题1.5分,满分40分)

【语篇解读】 一个假日的早上,作者偶然的早起,发觉了自己的人生有意的事——一个衣着朴实,骑着一辆不入时的自行车的老者,在自食其力,而且对自己的所做格外骄傲,这一刻,作者感到自己惭愧了,由于他自己还没有生疏到生活的真谛。
21.A.forces B.allows C.causes D.forbids
答案 B
解析 由第一段第一句可知,假日的早上“我”不用去上学,而依据第一段最终一句可知,在这样一个特殊的早上,“我”想早起,这说明“我”在假期的早上通常是不会早起的,所以可以推断,在假日,妈妈允许“我”晚一点儿起床。
22.A.otherwise B.therefore
C.however D.besides
答案 C
解析 由上文可知,妈妈允许“我”晚一点儿起床,尽管如此,“我”很想在这个特殊的早上早起床。前后语意为转折关系,所以用however。
23.A.parking lot B.bus stop
C.school D.market
答案 A
解析 由下文对擦车工擦车的描述可知,作者所观看的是一处停车场,而不是“公共汽车站”、“学校”和“市场”。
24.A.interesting B.surprising
C.awful D.useful
答案 D
解析 由下文可知,作者学到的是对人生有用的东西,最终一段最终一句中的usefully是提示词。
25.A.noticed B.recognized
C.called D.assisted
答案 A
解析 “我”站在窗前观看着走过的几个人,看着他们进入他们的汽车并驾车离去,而与此同时,“留意到/留意到”一个骑自行车的老人(因与众不同而留意/留意)。
26.A.back B.handle C.wheel D.seat
答案 B
解析 由本句的后半句可知,老人的抹布和瓶子放在后边的车架上,那么他的水桶应当是挂在自行车车把上。这是描述这位擦车工骑自行车带着他的擦车工具的情形。
27.A.searched B.left
C.moved D.wandered
答案 C
解析 老人从一辆车移动到另一辆,给车做清洁工作。
28.A.stopped B.started
C.intended D.finished
答案 D
解析 从地上的水来推断,老人已经完成12辆或者更多车的擦洗工作了。finish doing sth做完某事,为固定搭配。
29.A.crossed B.slipped
C.disturbed D.inspired
答案 A
解析 在“我”观看老人工作的时候,几个想法消灭出来。cross one's mind(想法)浮现心头,为固定搭配。
30.A.attractive B.shiny
C.simple D.expensive
答案 C
解析 从上句“He wasn't well-dressed.”可以推断老人穿了一件朴实的T恤衫。
31.A.repairmen B.businessmen
C.drivers D.cyclists
答案 D
解析 老人骑的自行车也确定不是现在骑自行车的人想在大街上骑的那一种。自行车肯定是“骑自行车的人”骑,而非“修理人员”、“商人”和“汽车驾驶员”。
32.A.busy B.content C.careful D.bored
答案 B
解析 前文描述了老人的穿着很朴实,骑的自行车也很老旧,但是老人对生活很是满足。其中but是提示词。
33.A.waving B.looking
C.laughing D.pointing
答案 A
解析 在他辛勤工作的时候,他还和经过的路人挥手打招呼,只有“打招呼”才能吸引人过来谈天。
34.A.about B.for C.with D.like

解析 而且不时地和老人们交谈。“与……谈天”用chat with表示。
35.A.worry B.respect C.sympathy D.pride
答案 D
解析 他好像对他所做的工作有一种易于让人觉察的傲慢感。依据下文的描述“老人在擦完挡风玻璃后进行观赏,擦净轮子后看擦得怎么样”可知,老人对自己的工作有一种骄傲感。
36.A.cleaning B.fixing
C.replacing D.covering
答案 A
解析 擦完挡风玻璃,他会往后站来观赏一下。老人是一个擦车工,因此在这儿是指“擦洗”挡风玻璃。
37.A.still B.yet C.again D.soon
答案 C
解析 擦洁净轮子以后,他又往后站去看轮子在他擦过以后是什么样子。前面提到“擦完挡风玻璃后观赏自己的成果”,而这一次“观赏”是又一次,所以用again。
38.A.lesson B.subject C.skill D.fact
答案 A
解析 “我”感觉这是我学到的一课。作者是一名同学,在现实生活中,他从擦车老人的劳碌过程中学到一课。
39.A.business B.living
C.success D.right
答案 B
解析 假如身体健康并情愿努力工作,人在任何年纪都不应当靠乞讨为生。

其次部分 阅读理解(共25小题;每小题2分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight—mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (愁闷) disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch).In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph D.degree.After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.
【语篇解读】 Dorothy在一所条件格外差的学校获得了很大的成功,这说明一个人获得成功与他在什么地方没有直接关系,最重要的是要付出努力。

In 1777, Washington was fighting the British for Philadelphia-at that time the center or capital of American government.Yet he sent 3,000 of his best soldiers to help General Gates in his battle with the British at Saratoga.
Washington lost his battle to save Philadelphia while Gates won at Saratoga.Almost from the moment of victory, Gates secretly began to try to get Washington's job.Helping him was a group of angry New Englanders in Congress who had not wanted Washington as commander-in-chief from the very beginning.
Gates didn't send Washington the news of victory.Washington heard about it only when one of his officers stopped a rider carrying the news to Congress and showed the letter to the General.He already knew that Gates was trying to take his job away from him.Yet when he saw that the British had given up at Saratoga, he gave the letter to one of his officers to read aloud.As the officer finished it, all eyes looked at Washington.Colonel Pickering, who often told the story, always remembered how surprised he was to discover on Washington's face, nothing but the purest joy.Although Pickering never considered Washington a great general, from that moment, he always agreed that he was a great man.Washington showed him how honorable a man could be.Pickering said, “He was a__man__to__whom__self__was__nothing,__his__country__everything”.
46.Washington and Gates fought the British________.
A.together all along B.at two fronts

D.tried to take the place of Washington in the army
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。依据文中其次段其次、三句可知Gates想取代Washington的联军总司令的位置。
48.Why did Pickering often tell the story?
A.Because he never regarded Washington as a great man.
B.Because he was greatly moved by what Washington did.
C.Because he followed Washington for years.
D.Because the story was so interesting that all soldiers liked it.
答案 B
解析 推理推断题。依据文章最终一句“He was a man to whom self was nothing, his country everything.”可知Pickering认为Washington是一个国家利益高于个人利益的宏大人物,因此推断他深受感动。
49.The phrase “a man to whom self was
